This is amazing and crazy you can have a completely usable, daily driver OS running on a little Raspberry Pi. Hope you will upload some more videos after you've been running on it got a while and compare it to full sized hardware.
Love MX, but there's some bugs to iron out. E.g. dark theme not applying to text editors & so (at least not when using it with cinnamon). Being unable to drag & rearrange icons on the panel is a big flaw in MX xfce too. What the synchronicity! I just tried it with cinnamon a week ago! And well, the calculator is called 'galculator' in there lol
I run POP OS or Pi OS on my 8g pi 4, on my wife I put Ubuntu mate, I also ran previous version of MX linux on my 4b, then tried the newest bookworm version, it had issues with YT, cursor etc. I may try it on my wife's 400 or my unit, but really POP and PI run very well for me, only thing I did with PI OS was switch back to X11, as some of my programs wouldn't work with wayland.
I put Mx on a potato Dell laptop that played Warthunder at about 8 frames per second with windows 10. I upgraded the HHD to a SSD. My game sped up to 12 fps. Yeah a real spud. But, it was much faster in most other things and works great with youtube and playing movies. I am happy.
BY far ....mx is the best distro out there and I cannot understand anyone who has issues with it. The default layout may well look ugly but as for speed and reliability.....it CANT be beat!
So your gripe was no SystemD and crashing? On the SystemD front, it is there and GRUB shows it clearly after installation. As for the language, no translators means no human translation, they're left to machine translation. Would you have any inclination to make this better by becoming a contributor instead of a bellyacher?. MY experience with Gamers is the largest variety of them use Nvidia, which require proprietary drivers. MX advises the AHS version for newer hardware to get the best out of their machine. Gamers should always use the AHS version irrespective of the age of their hardware and for Nvidia cards, the only recommended way to install their drivers is through the built in Nvidia Driver Installer. If through this you've seen an error on your side, would you like to try again? MX has a good number of gamers on board.

Its kind of wild. I had weird experiences on MX but alot of distros have made really good efforts on the Pi of late
I use Mx kde on low end laptops and it performs surprisingly well.

Galculator always gets me when I'm looking for a calculator.

Hello STL,
What happens with the cursor if you disable the compositor ?
Cheers

Raspberry Pi Will Be my Next Daily Pc...
CPU in the 40%'s. Wonder why so high?
It is a raspberry pi doing screen recording
Firefox is dead to me. Weird company and tired of them pushing Google and Pocket. Only use Brave and Vivaldi.
Nice video. I like MX Linux, but didn't know they had an arm build. Looks decent. Also cool to see the watt usage with 12v offgrid in mind.
It's so weird i just wrote a review on distrowatch, of my opposite experiences about MX ... and it was the desktop version.
I've never had an issue with it. Always performed well for me.

I've only ever used Lububtu and Mint but going to try this on an old Surface Pro 3 tablet I have spare.
@@gavinstirling7088 I have MX on SP3Pro. It's just fine, certainly snappier than W10. Mint runs great on the SP3 as well.

Why would not Linux Mint work on this setup? Or why is MX Linux better in this setup and work flow?
Linux Mint does not have an ARM build.
@@SwitchedtoLinux I wish they did 😭 before my Pi4 died (a week after owning it) I was enjoying armbian with xfce
